Chapter 86: Chapter 86: The Xia Family Really Knows How to Choose a Son-in-Law

Pei Ye looked at Mrs. Meng in astonishment.

Mrs. Meng rubbed her hand, "Sorry, my hand slipped."

The Xia Family Mother and Daughter were also utterly perplexed.

Mrs. Meng didn’t even know Pei Ye; why on earth did she suddenly hit someone, and hit them so inexplicably?

But, because of her status, neither the person who was hit nor the Xia Family Mother and Daughter dared to pursue the matter.

"The Xia family sure knows how to choose a son-in-law," Mrs. Meng said with a smile that radiated noble grace. "If you’re not one family, you don’t enter one door. I wish you a harmonious union for a hundred years, forever locked tight."

Those words sounded like a blessing, but they also felt quite awkward.

The slap left Pei Ye’s face burning hot. Mrs. Meng’s slap had not been gentle at all, and there was definitely a red mark on his face.

He had to rush off to apply some make-up; otherwise, it would be noticed.

Pei Ye and Xia Mengyao went to the make-up room together. Xia Mengyao tried to grab his hand but was firmly shaken off.

"Why are you mad at me? It wasn’t me who hit you," Xia Mengyao, the spoiled young lady, had never been given such a cold shoulder before.

Pei Ye sneered coldly, "You often boast about how great and powerful the Xia and Yao families are, but now that I’ve been hit, your family doesn’t dare to even let out a peep. They just watch me get hit and then ask the person if their hand hurts."

Frustrated, he was utterly frustrated.

Compared to the Meng Family, the Xia and Yao families were really nothing. If only Xia Mengyao were Mrs. Meng’s daughter, then he would be the Meng Family’s son-in-law.

No need to look at others’ faces, no need to be restrained everywhere, and even if he got hit, he wouldn’t dare to make a sound.

"Pei Ye, what do you mean by that?" Xia Mengyao also got angry, "Today you’re marrying me. I’m the one who gave you the chance to meet all these high-profile elites. If you were marrying Meng Tian, you could only see a bunch of poor policemen. Fine, if you don’t want to get married, then go back to Meng Tian and live your poor life."

"Yaoyao, I didn’t mean that," Pei Ye said, pulling Xia Mengyao into his arms as he saw her about to leave, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was just too angry. You are the person I love the most; how could I marry someone else? Even if Meng Tian was the daughter of the Meng Family, I wouldn’t give her a second glance."

"Really?" Xia Mengyao was a sucker for Pei Ye’s sweet nothings, and her heart immediately melted.

"Really, don’t you know how much I love you?"

As Pei Ye was about to kiss Xia Mengyao, someone seemed to pass by in the hallway.

The newcomer moved unhurriedly, a warm smile playing on sensuous lips, their cool demeanor was both refreshing and intimidating.

Pei Ye recognized the newcomer, whose arrival had caused the greatest sensation at the banquet.

He quickly stood upright and nodded in greeting, "Mr. Tang."

Pei Ye thought Tang Jingyao wouldn’t bother with someone of his status, but the latter suddenly paused and smiled at him.

"What’s your name?"

"Pei, Pei Ye." Suddenly being the focus of a bigwig, Pei Ye was so excited that his words were unclear, and his face couldn’t hide the thrill.

"Good taste," Tang Jingyao threw out four words, then strode away accompanied by his bodyguards.

Xia Mengyao thought Tang Jingyao was talking about her and immediately hugged Pei Ye in celebration, "Husband, our union must be blessed by heaven. Not only did the Meng Family send someone, but even Mr. Tang praised your good taste."

Pei Ye watched Tang Jingyao leave, his smile could not have been happier.

Choosing Xia Mengyao was simply the best decision he had ever made in his life.

Soon, the engagement party began.

To make an impression, the Xia and Yao families made the event extremely grand.

Even Meng Yusheng was invited to give a congratulatory speech.

Yao Fangsheng was thrilled to see Meng Yusheng take the stage.

With Meng Yusheng’s status, he didn’t need to officiate the wedding. Just a few words of blessing from him would be a tremendous help to the Yao family’s future business.

The Yao family was currently facing a crisis, and climbing up the Meng family tree could cut through all problems.

Meng Yusheng took the microphone, exuding the presence of a leader. His mere presence commanded absolute silence.

"First and foremost, I would like to congratulate the newlyweds on their union and wish them a lifetime of happiness. Additionally, I am grateful for the generous assistance the bride and groom and their families have extended to me. This kindness will forever be etched in my heart."

A wave of murmurs instantly swept across the audience.

Envious gazes were cast from all directions.

It turned out that both families owed a debt of gratitude to the Meng family, no wonder Mr. and Mrs. Meng showed up together to grace the engagement party.

"Mr. Yao, you really know how to keep a secret."

"Yes, indeed, your relationship with the Meng family is so strong, and yet you kept it so quiet, very understated."

Everyone internally took note: they must tighten their cooperation with the Yao family to connect with the Meng family.

Initially perplexed, Yao Fangsheng naturally accepted this ’fact’ after hearing everyone’s compliments.

Only an idiot would refuse an advantage placed before them.

"Mr. Meng, what exactly did Mr. Yao help you with?" someone nosy asked loudly enough for the entire room to hear.

Meng Yusheng smiled and waved towards a certain spot in the audience.

Following his gaze, everyone saw Meng Tian, who was eating cake.

Why was Meng Yusheng waving at Meng Tian with such a benevolent and affectionate expression?

Had Meng Tian just won over Mrs. Meng and now, in the blink of an eye, pulled Meng Yusheng to her side as well?

Pei Ye and Xia Mengyao found it unbelievable. Meng Tian’s influence seemed too significant.

Meng Yusheng continued, "The great favor these two families have done for me is their unwitting grace in letting my daughter go. I must thank Mr. Pei Ye. If it weren’t for your cheating, my daughter might still be deceived by your sweet nothings; I must thank Miss Xia for intervening as the other woman, allowing my daughter to break up with you so decisively. I am even more grateful to the Xia and Yao families for not minding the filth and willingly taking out the trash, thereby saving our Meng family a lot of trouble. I won’t say more thanks. Tiantian, let’s go home."

The crowd: But you just poured out a whole basketful of ’thanks.’

However, these ’thanks’ were laden with sarcasm, and anyone with half a brain could hardly miss the underlying meaning.

Meng Tian stuffed the cake into her mouth and walked towards her descending father, Meng Yusheng.

Holding his daughter’s hand, Meng Yusheng smiled at the crowd, "My little girl is a police officer, so she’s always kept a low profile."

"Isn’t that Forensic Doctor Meng?" Someone in the crowd recognized Meng Tian.

She had performed injury appraisals before, and her work was extremely professional and fair.

"Mr. Meng’s daughter is a forensic expert?"

"Forensic Doctor Meng is young, but highly skilled and famous in the district. She was instrumental in the sensational stepdaughter parricide case last year."

"I heard about that case, too. It was brilliantly solved, thanks to the district’s forensic expert."

Someone standing in the shadows, hearing the murmurs below, let the smile on their lips gradually turn cold.

Indeed, Forensic Doctor Meng was capable; she could even overturn cases that had been closed.

But whether Forensic Doctor Meng could turn the tide in her own life remained to be seen.
